Many highly desirable public institutions are opening
their doors wider to full paying out-of-state
students.
This is particularly
true in the University of California system (UC Berkeley reported admitting 30%
of their out-of-state pool; up 24%
from just three years ago).
In
addition, some highly coveted public universities like the University of
Virginia plan to increase tuition by 5.9% for out-of-state students.
